Statistical Analysis of Steady State Combustion of Composite Solid Propellants.

Abstract

A general method for extracting particle size dependent information from experimental rate/formulation data was developed from the statistical methodology. This technique was employed to correlate the data bases of Miller. Results showed that, by employing an interaction parameter of 4, both additive and additive free data could be correlated to standard error of estimate below 10.5%. The effect of steady radiant energy deposition on steady and nonsteady burning was explored. Results showed that if the radiant energy deposited in the reactive zones is negligible (an excellent assumption for low signature propellants) the effect of radiant energy deposition can always be accounted for by substituting the radiation augmented initial temperature for the initial propellant temperature.
